Mariammaria posted a topic in Adjustment of Status Case Filing and Progress Reports,
Please be nice, I know I made a mistake... But got my K1 approved and arrived in the US June 25, 2024 and applied for AOS February 25, 2025 -- then left the US (abandoned my AOS). Will I be banned for re-entry to the US -- even under a spouse visa?-

N400: Admitted to Weed during Green Card (was it a crime I was not arrested for?)
Left Over posted a topic in US Citizenship General Discussion,
To start, marijuana is illegal in my country of origin. When I was applying for my green card I admitted to trying marijuana when I was in my 20's (I'm 49 now). I got my green card and have lived in the US for 5 years. I'm in the process of applying for citizenship. What answer should I give to the question: "Have you EVER committed, agreed to commit, asked someone else to commit, helped commit, or tried to commit a crime or offense for which you were NOT arrested? Yes or No" given that I admitted to past marijuana use during the GC process?-

Fiancée threatened with deportation by customs agent after arriving at airport for false accusations. How concerned should we be?
deletedUser21321 posted a topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports,
Firstly, I want to get some things clear because I know everyone will say this otherwise:
We are seeing an immigration attorney for consultation soon. We've already printed out several documents to prove that my fiancée is not coming here with the intent to live here for the future until they get the K-1 Visa... Now, Heres the actual story...- 53 replies
Fiance or Marriage Visa in 2025 ? Pros and cons?
KandB posted a topic in What Visa Do I Need - Family Based Immigration,
I'm 23F 🇨🇿, my partner is 29M 🇺🇲
We want to get our visa going sometime this year and want to be together as soon as possible but we are still unsure which visa would serve us better. I'd like to get married in my home country but on the other side i wouldn't mind getting married paperwise in the US and waiting for my work permit and etc if it would allow us to be together faster and then save up for and have our dream wedding in my home country.
What do you think ? All of this is so overwhelming and confusing and we just want to do the right thing.
I asked the same question on reddit, so many people recommended me to go with fiance visa, two suggested marriage visa. I need more input and advice from experienced people. Thank you
Ps: is it possible to have dual citizenship so i don't lose one from my home country? How does that work ?- 31 replies

We are unable to accept these documents as uploaded. Please add "Joe" as a Household Member under "Mary". All documents for "Joe" should be submitted under their own name.
Hello everyone,
Here is the situation- my wife (Mary) applied for her parents and filled out I-864 which was marked as accepted. She doesn't have enough income so I (Joe) filled out I-864A which was rejected with the explanation as noted above. I submitted the I-864A under "Additional AOS supporting document for Mary- Form I-864A contract between sponsor and household member."
When we filled out the I-864 I was listed as a household member.The summary page of CEAC has both AOS and Civil Documents marked as accepted however when I clink into AOS section it has I-864A status as rejected.
Could someone please clarify what they are requesting?
Thank you!!

2 RepliesMy family will be vacationing in the Philippines for 40 days and we will be entering with the balikbayan stamp as my wife is a duel citizen . Now my daughter wants to bring her boyfriend and not sure how he would extend his 30 visa. Will he have to get it before we fly or can he go to the BI while in the Pi to extend it. ( his flight would be the same as ours for 40 days )
Mistake in approved I-129F application 1:42 pm today

4 RepliesHi,
My fiancee's K1 interview is tomorrow
She just realized while reviewing our I-129F that I put down the wrong zip code in the "Address in the United States Where Your Beneficiary Intends to Live" field - I mindlessly used the zip code from a previous address of mine
The address is my current address and I did put it in correctly elsewhere on the form
Obviously our I-129F is already approved, but she's worried. What is this field used for? Can it be updated at the interview?
